Adopters and foster parents needed

The Humane Society for Greater Savannah is experiencing an unexplainable increase in the number of surrendered pets. With the extreme number of dogs surrendered at one time, the staff and volunteers at the Humane Society of Greater Savannah are hoping to enlist the public’s help by spreading the word about these great adoptable dogs. All our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on shots, have been given a heart worm test, and micro-chipped. The adoption process also includes a free initial vet visit in the Greater Savannah area with the vet of choice, and 30-day coverage with Shelter Care pet insurance.
